Sheraton Pretoria Hotel

It was our last full day of the program, and we had a pretty good city tour of Johannesburg and Pretoria. We left the hotel at 8 am and hit some rush-hour traffic going into Jo'burg. Rudolf gave some informative commentary as we drove, pointing out UNISA, a university with 200,000 enrolled students, most of whom take classes online. He made comments about the coal-fired power plants (source of 85% of South Africa’s electricity), some of which were closed down and ...

Hey everybody, I'm staying at the Isiphiwo Guesthouse in Pretoria, South Africa. We have done prison ministry and ministry to orphans, the elderly, and at hospitals. We have seen several hundred people healed so far, I have led a few dozen people to the Lord, and it has really been amazing. I am heading out right now to go to a mall and minister, but I pray you are doing well. Thank you for your support and prayers. Shalom, Luke

It comes to something that even when the Skype cameras don't work too well that you can still have hours of entertainment and fun with your sister, simply by trying to take pictures of your nose and the inside of your mouth! Quite similar indeed. And then there was the demonstration of the fibre-optic ...

... her friends' would have liked. Her friends suddenly became less friendly and Babe explained to Max that is was because he was white and her friends did not approve. Although things got a little uncomfortable, we still had a great time and it was interesting to see (what I now realize was only the beginning) the blatant racial conflicts still present among South Africans.

... finish your term of imprisonment only to be arrested again and sent to Kimberley under house arrest. Robert Sobutwe finally returned to his home in a coffin in 1978 after dying from cancer. Our tour continued to the lime quarry where Nelson Mandela and other political prisoners spent their days in hard labor. The stone cut was only used to build unneeded roads on Robben Island itself. There is a cave cut into the rock. This was used ...

... have seen and heard, what they would tell me if they could speak. I think that goes back to the time that dad took me into a house that was under construction in Uncle Tom's neighborhood, across the street from the old house that I used to live in. I couldn't have been more than 4, but I vividly remember the bright pink of the insulation and the raw skeleton of the framework. In a sense, I believe that dream has a lot to ...

... also sat at the bar. We ended up having a snack of calamari and fries and then went back to our chalet. As we arrived we said good evening to our neighbours in the chalet above ours. It turned out that they were six actors who were in the area to shoot an advert. We ended up having a great laugh with them before hitting the sack. The next day was waterfall day. There are lots in the area but Herman had recommended three in particular so we visited first the Mac Mac falls ...

... the door, two bums had asked me for money and one guy tried to sell me some hair clippers. Inside the safe confines, we ate our first "American" meal in over three months. It was awesome. After studying a map we found a hostel to try and stay at. So we went to get in our ride. Only one bum hit us up for money this time.
